Egan Picked To Lead San Diego PRO Side

Ray Egan has been picked as the head coach of the San Diego PRO Rugby team for the 2016 season. The long-time Belmont Shore shore and Regional Academy Director for Tiger Rugby bring plenty of contacts and experience with rugby in Southern California. The Ireland native played at Loughborough University in England as well as coach with Munster and Ireland age-grade sides. His assistants will be named at a later date. He joins Paul Keeler (San Francisco) and Luke Gross (Sacramento) as head coaches. The league has announced four of the five teams that will play in the upcoming season meaning there are still two head coaching vacancies to fill.
